Beginners Question VS2005 Parsing Error with Asp Website



Hi all
I have a separate section of my wesite which is planned to be secure. The rest is open to all
The secure section is in a separte folder with its own webconfig file
Having reorganised it on this basis I constantly receive the following message about the webconfig file. I have not used 'allowDefinition' anywhere and presume this is coming from machine config default. I would be grateful if someone could explain how I can avoid this error.
I am not testing the appliction in IIS at this stage. I am using the built in browser in VS2005

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
